Since Microsoft, among others, won't let up on the AI nonsense, I made a public list of my baseline list of privacy apps and services: github.com/Inf0squit0/p...

privacyguides.org is a more comprehensive resource, my list is more of a quick & dirty checklist for hardening your personal device.

The revolution of computing was being able to reference and refine verifiable facts at increased speed. Generative AI is about fabricating barely plausible bullshit at extreme cost. It's a big step back unless all Gen AI output is handled as 'toxic waste data'.

Every genuinely interesting application of llm ai that I have seen involves having a distinct and richly meaningful dataset that the software can navigate. Medical histories and journals, ferinstance.

Just lumping all conceivable data into one lump seems like a basic mistake.

I'm also interested in hearing actual lawyers weigh in on this, because I know several countries and US have it illegal to record someone without their consent—which Clips is ripe for doing. Add in users from multiple countries in the same call, and just how illegal and messy does this get?

I haven't tested it yet but it appears LibreTube is an Android app for blocking ads and preserving privacy on YouTube, similar to FreeTube on desktop: libretube.dev
Ditto with NewPipe: newpipe.net

An alternative frontend for YouTube, for Android.

Life Pro Tip: if you have to force your shitty products or ideologies (which Copilot is ultimately is an extension of) on ppl instead of letting them choose, it's a sign most ppl don't want your shitty products or ideology. If it's that good your zealots will fund it. arstechnica.com/gadgets/2024...
Microsoft is adding a new key to PC keyboards for the first time since 1994
Copilot key will eventually be required in new PC keyboards, though not yet.

If you don't want Microsoft AI spying on you, an easy way to prevent that is to run this freeware application and apply recommended settings.

I've definitely had "This couldn't possibly have been playtested" experiences with games from some of the biggest shops. It leads me to worry that skimping on playtesting is distressingly common at all tiers of the TTRPG industry.
I've been getting up close and personal with the wonderful world of #ttrpg playtesting these past few weeks, first for an adventure I want to publish, and today for a system a friend is creating. Both experiences really emphasize the importance of ACTUALLY playtesting. I'll explain what I mean...1/

This talk is fantastic. CTI isn't even my specialty and I still got a lot out of it.
